Spring is here and Georgia heat usually hits us in full force! It’s a great time of year to conduct some home maintenance that will help homeowners avoid big repair bills later on.

• Inspect your roof; it is your home’s first line of defense against water damage.
• Clean your gutters; it directs the rain away from your roof and home
• Clean or replace HVAC filters; a dirty filter forces your heat, ventilation, and AC system to work harder.
• Check the washing machine fill hose; sometimes a leaky hose under pressure can cause water damage in a short period of time.
• Clean your dryer vent; a clean vent will help reduce the time your dryer has to run, while a plugged vent not only wastes money but could cause a house fire.
• Replace the batteries on your smoke detectors; you never know when you will need them.

These tips may take a few days to complete but take it one step at a time and it will help in the long run.
